812. Humpback Whale's Gift (6/6)
Father Qin was worried, but Qin Shiou quickly got out of the water, stuck to the head of the humpback whale, and patted the skin under its eyes with his hand.
The humpback whale let out a higher-pitched and cheerful call, its head peeking out of the water, and a jet of water erupted from its nostrils, like a fountain, and at the same time made a loud sound, similar to that of a steam engine.
In fact, this water column was not spewed out by the humpback whale, Qin Shiou leaned to the side and saw it clearly, the humpback whale spewed out a short, thick and scorching water vapor, but this air flow was very powerful, and the surrounding sea water was also rolled out of the sea, so it looked like a fountain.
Absorbing the energy of the sea god, the big whale was obviously very happy, and it flapped its tail excitedly, revealing two long pectoral fins on its body.
This pectoral fin is narrow and long, more than five meters long, and there are irregular nodulous serrations at the end, and there are wavy notches on its trailing edge, which looks like bird wings, so this kind of whale will be called "long-fin whale", "great wing whale" and the like.
Humpback whales' pectoral fins are very powerful, and slapping the water surface can support them to jump out of the ocean, and even jump up to a height of more than 6 meters, which is very strong.
This humpback whale became happy, and its pectoral fins spread out to jump, and now Qin Shiou was scared, and quickly patted its skin to appease it.
The power of this guy's jumping is too strong, if Qin Shiou and Sha Ke are unlucky enough to be touched, they may even be stunned, which is very dangerous.
Humpback whale is a social animal, very docile and amiable, adults often touch each other to express feelings, so Qin Shiou patted its head like this, it felt kindness. didn't jump up, but shook his head from side to side in a cute way to rub Qin Shiou and Sha Ke.
This humpback whale was attracted by a herring infused with the energy of the god of the sea. After squatting with Qin Shiou and Shakemo, it opened its big mouth and prepared to hunt.
Humpback whales have a very domineering predatory posture, and their mouths are specially constructed. The lower palate has an elastic ligament that connects to the upper jaw, so that the lower jaw can be temporarily detached during predation, forming a right-angled angle.
After opening its mouth, the humpback whale opened its jaw wide, turned sideways and rushed towards the fish segment, then closed its mouth, opened the crease at the bottom of the lower palate, and swallowed it along with the sea water and the fish segment.
Later, the sea water is filtered out, and all that is left is the fish in the mouth. The humpback whale devoured contentedly, allowing Qin Shiou to rub his rough skin and climb up his back.
Humpback whales are the most suitable fish for mounting, first of all, they swim slowly; Secondly, they have a docile temperament, and most importantly, they often have a lot of rough scars on their skin, which can be used by others.
This is because humpback whales are the food of many sharks, and when fighting predators, they will use their heads to fight their opponents in a hurry, often causing the flesh to break. Later, the wound grew and closed, and it was a rough scar.
After climbing onto the humpback whale's body, Qin Shiou used the Poseidon Consciousness to control it and calm it down. Then he approached the yacht and motioned for his father to jump down first.
Father Qin asked hesitantly, "Can it be done?" Look at its big mouth, don't be upset, open your mouth and eat me! ”
Qin Shiou laughed and said, "How is it possible? Humpback whales can't eat big fish. Because they have a small throat and eyes, they can only eat small fish. Not to mention people, they can't eat bigger cod! ”
Father Qin jumped down in fear. Qin Shiou went down and lifted him to the back of the humpback whale, and Nelson on the boat set up his camera to give Qin's father dozens of photos at once.
Later, Qin Shiou sent Mario and Mao's father up again, anyway, this humpback whale is big enough, and the three of them can sit down when they go up.
After enjoying it, Qin Shiou took the three of them in turn and said: "Fisheries Canada has a law that the boat can't get too close to the humpback whale, more than 100 meters, let's just cool for a while, and it will be troublesome if we are caught by the coast guard." ”
He has suffered from the coast guard's brainlessness, so if he can abide by the law, he will honestly abide by it.
The group got on the boat, and Nelson opened the boat to distance himself from the humpback whale, which was easy to collide with when it was close.
Humpback whales are now one of the most susceptible to collisions with boats, and according to the Journal of Cetacean Research and Management, this is not due to an increase in whale populations, but due to the development of tourism.
Most of the vessels involved in collisions with humpback whales are commercial whale watching vessels, and Canada has amended the Law of the Sea to require all vessels to be at least 100 yards away from humpback whales.
After getting on the boat, Qin Shiou and Sha Ke continued to throw fish segments into the water, and the humpback whale followed behind and let out an excited cry while eating, and Father Qin and the others also went up to sprinkle fish segments when they saw that it was interesting, after all, they had ridden someone just now, so it had to be interesting, didn't it?
It means that Father Qin has no opinion, but later, seeing that Qin Shiou and Sha Ke threw too much, they almost had to throw a basket of small fish into the water, so they said that this was a bit of a waste.
Qin Shiou smiled mysteriously and said, "What we eat at noon depends on this head whale, and we have to collect and pay, so it's not a waste now." ”
Father Qin and the others were confused, and asked if they ate humpback whale meat at noon? How else can you rely on it?
The answer soon emerged, and with the cheers of this humpback whale, several more humpback whales surfaced, opened their large mouths and began to hunt.
"Humpback whales are social fish, but when food is scarce, they will gather alone or in 2-3 groups to feed, and when there is a lot of food, they will call friends over to form a small group." Qin Shiou explained to Father Qin and the others.
After counting, there were four large humpback whales that had arrived, and Shaq lowered a kayak, on which were lined up with two large incubators, containing ice and seawater.
The two approached a large humpback whale in a dinghy, then jumped into the water to calm the whale and began to receive gifts on its lower body and pectoral fins.
In addition to humans, there are also lazy goods in the ocean, such as barnacles, Indian fish, conch, octopa, etc., which will be pasted when encountering humpback whales, and then cruise in the ocean for free.
With the exception of the fish on the farm, most marine fish are cruising on the ocean currents and food, so they will not miss the opportunity to ride for free.
Qin Shiou and Sha Ke picked these conch and fish from these humpback whales, and a big whale can pick half a ton of appendages, but not everything can be eaten, so they have to gather a few more and select the fat Indian fish and conch inside, etc.
Humpback whales are very well-behaved after being appeased, slowly drifting in the water to remove debris from their bodies, in fact, they don't like to travel with so much drag, and consume more body.
However, they can't get rid of the debris, and if a fish comes to them to prey, they are often very welcome, and they don't refuse to change to adults.
Humpback whales are very intelligent sea creatures, with IQs up to 10 years old, second only to killer whales and dolphins. (To be continued......)
